The "FrontPage" page has been changed by JonathanEllis: https://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FrontPage?action=diff&rev1=113&rev2=114 Comment: remove outdated stuff in favor of linking docs and docs source = Cassandra Wiki = - {{{#!wiki red/solid If you would like to contribute to this wiki, please send an email to the mailing list dev.at.cassandra.apache-dot-org with your wiki username and we will be happy to add you. Contributions welcome! }}} - Cassandra is a highly scalable, eventually consistent, distributed, structured key-value store. Cassandra brings together the distributed systems technologies from [[http://s3.amazonaws.com/AllThingsDistributed/sosp/amazon-dynamo-sosp2007.pdf|Dynamo]] and the data model from Google's [[http://research.google.com/archive/bigtable-osdi06.pdf|BigTable]]. Like Dynamo, Cassandra is [[http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2008/12/eventually_consistent.html|eventually consistent]]. Like BigTable, Cassandra provides a ColumnFamily-based data model richer than typical key/value systems. - Cassandra was open sourced by Facebook in 2008, where it was designed by Avinash Lakshman (one of the authors of Amazon's Dynamo) and Prashant Malik ( Facebook Engineer ). In a lot of ways you can think of Cassandra as Dynamo 2.0 or a marriage of Dynamo and BigTable. Cassandra is in production use at Facebook but is still under heavy development. + Cassandra is moving away from this wiki for user-facing documentation in favor of in-tree docs, linked below.
